Snack of the Afternoon: ADAM’S PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES, RANDY’S DONUTS

Whoopie!

First of all, I’m dealing with some gourmet interns over here.

This morning, Intern Adam came around handing out pumpkin “whoopie pies.” I had never heard of such a thing, and really wanted him to fill me in on the history of the whoopie pie (in particular, the strange and delightful name). All I could get out of him was that usually whoopie pies are filled with marshmallow, but his were filled with frosting, because he doesn’t like marshmallow.
